Transcending Death


We die into life in a new form

to resume playing our flutes

striking new chords with our souls

embracing lovers kicking out

the same loved ones

when affections find alternatives.

 

But from birth to death

what remains constant

never goes by cajolement

or abuse which envelopes

a body and mind like

a vengeful lover, in pain.

 

We cry when we are born

we suffer without tears

in the rest of our ventures

in other moods and emotions

trying to overcome pain

but it lingers and

takes us to our pyres.

 

I don't hate you  Pain.

But to love you,

you must relent

and lend me moments of

respite to celebrate life.
